No one has suggested that - this is 2+2=6.
Under the unlikely scenario that the municipal administration had more stringent bilingual requirements for positions, even if the City mirrored the feds' policies there would still be thousands of jobs designated English only. (The federal public service has tons of English only jobs, in addition to tons of bilingual jobs of course, and almost no French only jobs.)
Add to this the entire institutional sector in Ottawa which is very predominantly English only, and the private sector which is very English only as well (surprisingly so, to some people at least).
Thou doth protest too much.
